Altenew April Inspiration Challenge

Hello,

I've been really enjoying the Altenew blog recently. So many of the featured cards look like mini masterpieces - sometimes it's hard to believe that they've been created using stamps.

Anyway, I thought I would have a go at this month's challenge and try a bit of watercolouring. I'm not good at watercolouring...I never seem to achieve a soft, pretty look but I do find it easier with Zig Clean Colour pens:

I used Floral Motifs and the die cut circles were coloured with Ken Oliver's Colour Burst pigment inks. I also added some stencilling with texture paste to the background.

I'm also entering this into Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge where the theme is Showers and/or Flowers.

About Me

Hello! Thanks so much for popping by and welcome to my little creative corner in blog land. Playing with ink and paper keeps me sane - it's cheaper than therapy and doesn't do me as much harm as alcohol! If you want to get in touch, feel free to drop me a line at capostoloff@gmail.com
